At least seven people have been arrested in anti-terror raids following a Tuesday morning attack in London, which left three people dead and 40 more injured.

Rowley confirmed the identity of the attacker, who plowed a car into a crowd near the Houses of Parliament. Later in the day, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria claimed responsibility for the attack. The police believe the terrorist acted alone.
